Terms & Conditions

Last updated — April 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to KUMBR Studio. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website and the creative services we provide. By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.

KUMBR Studio operates from Istanbul, Turkey and Cork, Ireland. These terms apply to all clients, visitors, and users of our platforms regardless of location.

2. Services

KUMBR Studio provides creative and digital services including, but not limited to:

  • Brand identity design and strategy
  • Digital experience design and development
  • Marketing and growth consulting
  • Content production (photography, video, motion graphics)
  • AI systems integration and automation

All services are subject to individual project agreements, statements of work, or proposals that may contain additional terms specific to the engagement.

3. Project Agreements

Each project engagement will be documented through a formal proposal or statement of work that outlines scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees. These project-specific documents, together with these Terms and Conditions, form the complete agreement between KUMBR Studio and the client.

3.1 Proposals & Acceptance

Proposals remain valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Acceptance of a proposal may be indicated by written confirmation, electronic signature, or payment of the initial deposit.

3.2 Changes in Scope

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in writing. Additional work beyond the original scope will be estimated separately and requires client approval before commencement.

4. Fees & Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in the project proposal, the following payment terms apply:

  • A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required before work commences
  • The remaining balance is due upon project completion and final delivery
  • Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue
  • Late payments may incur interest at a rate of 2% per month

All fees are quoted in the currency specified in the proposal. Applicable taxes will be added where required by law.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Ownership Transfer

Upon full payment, all rights to the final deliverables are transferred to the client unless otherwise specified in the project agreement. This includes logos, brand assets, website code, and other creative materials produced specifically for the client.

5.2 Portfolio Rights

KUMBR Studio reserves the right to showcase completed work in our portfolio, website, social media, and award submissions unless a non-disclosure agreement is in place. We will always credit the client appropriately.

5.3 Third-Party Assets

Some deliverables may include third-party assets (fonts, stock imagery, plugins) that are subject to their own licensing terms. We will inform the client of any such requirements and associated costs.

6. Client Responsibilities

To ensure successful project delivery, clients agree to:

  • Provide timely feedback within agreed timeframes
  • Supply necessary content, assets, and access credentials
  • Designate a primary point of contact for the project
  • Ensure all provided materials do not infringe third-party rights

Delays caused by late client feedback may result in adjusted timelines and, where significant, additional costs.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information shared during the course of the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the agreement and extends for a period of two years thereafter.

Confidential information does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate the engagement with 14 days written notice. In the event of termination:

  • The client is responsible for payment of all work completed to date
  • The initial deposit is non-refundable
  • KUMBR Studio will deliver all work completed up to the termination date
  • Intellectual property rights for completed work transfer upon payment

9. Limitation of Liability

KUMBR Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or deliverables. Our total liability shall not exceed the total fees paid for the specific project in question.

We are not responsible for any losses resulting from the client's use or misuse of delivered materials, nor for any issues arising from third-party services or platforms.

10. Website Usage

By using this website, you agree not to:

  • Copy, reproduce, or distribute any content without written permission
  • Use automated tools to scrape or collect data from this website
  • Attempt to interfere with the website's functionality or security
